The Romans conquered Britain in the first century AD, after previously conquering Gaul. In 55 BC, a Roman army of 10,000 men crossed the English Channel and invaded Britain, though Julius Caesar's earlier visits did not result in conquest. The Romans established towns and military outposts throughout Britain and introduced social changes among the local Celtic population during their 400-year rule over the island.
